Lala Kent dragged Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce into self-induced press tour and Nick Viall isnโt having it. The former Bachelor took to his podcast, The Viall Files, to slam the outspoken Vanderpump Rules star for spreading rumors about the power couple. Nick reminded his listeners how Lala has incessantly targeted his co-stars, Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney, publicly since filming the season 11 VPR reunion and seems – more than ever – desperate for publicity.ย
Lala โis going after Taylor,โ began Nick. โSheโs in her โsoft era,โ but also going after Taylor. For those of you who donโt know, Lala basically said that sheโs heard from โmultiple sourcesโ that Taylor and Travisโs relationship is for PR. Thatโs what Lala Kent has claimed.โ
Nick noted that saying a relationship is for a public relations stunt is โa rather strong accusation to make.โ Lala โdid use the word โallegedly,โ to cover her ass. She was worried about being sued by Taylor. That wouldnโt be my biggest concern if I were Lala. It would be activating the Swifties who donโt care if you say โallegedly.โโ
โWhy would Taylor Swift do this? Sheโs bored alone and sheโs like, โYou know who I wanna help right now? The NFL.” Nick had his mic drop moment when he out-sourced Lala. โBut, I can say from a source – I donโt know who Lalaโs sources are – but my source is watching the Super Bowl with Taylor Swift and itโs a very real relationship.โ
Bravo TV fans and Swifties react
- This is where I draw the line. Lala’s entire career was built cause she dated Randal so what could she possibly have to say about our mother
- Like Taylor Swift gives a F about what Lala Kent has to say about her. ๐คฃ
- Lauren โLalaโ is reaching to stay relevant. ๐
- A PR expert said both real and PR stunt could be true. It could have started as a PR relationship that was mutually beneficial and turned into more. I think if it was JUST PR it would have ended by now. And this is coming from a non Taylor fan who was sick to death of all the Taylor Travis coverage every other news story.
- Is Lauren from Utah secret friends with Kim K.. Oh sorry Aimee. ๐๐๐
- Bitter spice! Table for one!

Lalaโs โsoft sideโ post-reunion (Arianaโs Version)
In case you missed it, rumors circulated that Ariana and Lalaโs friendship ended after a blowout fight while filming the reunion. @TheBravoBabe posted, โRumor is that Ariana eviscerated Lala at the end of the reunion. Like friendship over type of situation.โ
Bravo & Cocktails posted an allegation regarding the reunion. โI heard the VPR reunion was boring as fuck till the end, and thenโฆโ
โAriana went OFF on Lala.โ It was a โVerbal blowoutโ that was so bad it appears their โFriendship [is] over. And Tom [Sandoval] and Ariana, of course, went it at, obviously. But [it was a] full on war of words with Ariana and Lala!โ
During an interview on The Talk,ย Lala recounted a social media post she read. โI think the exact tweet was โAriana eviscerated Lala at the reunion and it was friendship ruining.โโ Lala confirmed, โOne of those things is trueโ before teasing, โIโll let you all decide.โ
Lalaโs โsoft sideโ post-reunion (Katieโs Version)
During a guest appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Katie was asked โwhat exactly happenedโ with Lala after the season 10 VPR reunion that caused their falling out.
โThatโs a good question. Iโm not entirely sure exactly what sheโs talking about, per se.โ Katie continued, โLala and I do have the same fighting styles. A year and a half ago we did have a falling outโ around the time they filmed WWHL.
Katie thought the issue with Lala had been resolved, as she didnโt feel there was anything still wrong. โSo, I donโt know exactly what sheโs talking about.โ
Lala didnโt like Katieโs response. She is โsuffering from amnesia it seems,โ began Lala. โA LOT these days!โ Mocking her frenemy, Lala continued, โI just canโt remember anything. What?!?!โ
Deadpanning, Lala added, โI cannot. I canโtโ with Katie acting like she doesnโt know what happened.
โI tend to forget when I feel stupid, too,โ continued the outspoken VPR personality. โI just donโt appreciate when people โforget.โ Then, I get frustrated and I cry โ a frustration cry.โ
โAnd I donโt usually like to drag people when I look like this. I usually like to have my hair and my cat eye on, bit itโs ok,โ concluded a pregnant Lala.ย
What do you think about Lala and Nickโs differing opinions of Tayvis being a PR stunt?ย
